Nice drum,
flesh is a little soft but not all that bad to eat.
I catch whites up here in the great lakes, they get up to about 20 lbs here.
If you click on the photo album link in the gray box above you will find that you already have a photo gallery that all you need do is up load your pic's to. it is one of my favorite features of this site cause I can copy thumbnails with links and paist them in the forums and use them over and over again. There you can keep a gallery of all the species you have caught, then you can keep albums of cirtain topics like fish that have won awards or special fishing trips ect....
